'Personal mobility ensures convenience, whereas public transport is cost-effective'

For how long have Greaves Electric Mobility been charting their journey in the electric vehicle (EV) arena? What was your roadmap like ahead of the EV push which began in India?

Greaves Cotton Ltd (GCL) was one of the earliest companies to recognise India's potential in the world of EV and ventured into it ahead of the competition. Our priority is to address real-world challenges such as accelerating clean mobility adoption with a product portfolio that meets the needs of different consumers and price segments by democratising smart and sustainable mobility solutions, helping the bottom-of-the-pyramid customers with passenger and cargo three-wheelers that offer disruptive cost-savings and lower cost to serve and have a positive impact on the planet. GEMPL, the electric mobility business of GCL, has been electrifying last-mile mobility with electric two- and three-wheelers for personal mobility, passenger mobility, and cargo mobility through the acquisition of Ampere in 2019. With a strong base of over 1.8 lakh happy electric two-wheeler customers, GEMPL have created impact at scale with 1.3 billion-plus e-kilometres travelled, 35 million-plus litres of fuel saved, and 2.2 million-plus trees saved.

How encouraging were the numbers a few years ago as compared to what they are today?

Hero Mavrick 440

SINCE IT CAME INTO my clutches, I have been guarding the Mavrick 440's keys rather jealously. I loathe to even think of returning it, though that is inevitable some time in the future.

It is Good to be different

When it comes to choosing a Husqvarna, you are spoilt for choice these days thanks to the KTM-owned manufacturer's habit of providing not just one but two variants of each new model. Should you opt for a single-cylinder 125 or 401 or this, the all-new twin-cylinder 801, you get a brace of options: Vitpilen or Svartpilen. Essentially the same bike but in different clothes and with a subtly different attitude to life. It is a proven recipe that has served Husqvarna well for the last 10 years

Ticks All the Boxes

It is probably not too contentious to say that Triumph, the “new” Triumph, the one that re-invented the marque in 1983 and grew into one of British engineering’s great modern success stories, do retros rather well. With a large back catalogue of iconic “old” Triumphs to reinvent, the Hinckley factory has made a habit of plucking some of the most evocative model names from the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s, carefully updating their styling without offending the nostalgia glands, injecting very modern performance and road manners, and then watching them sail out of showrooms. But few, we suggest, have been done as well as this
